Searching for the perfect case....

So building a PC for a friend. I've built a few for him over the last decade or so. We both like the Antec P-Series and last time around I built both our systems in a P180.

I recently built one for myself in the P280 and while he loves the case he now has 2 small children that love pressing the power button when they want his attention so the P280 while great might not be ideal. But I am having trouble finding the perfect case and was hoping for some help.

So, what does the perfect case in our opinion have?

In order of priority:

Quite optimised case for a quiet build

​Simple but stylish design

Power and reset button hidden away (or some kind of system to stop the kids turning the PC off mid game)

Good cable management

Not a cramped case

Any thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Not too worried about budget. The 280 is not a cheap case. Probably less than €200 (US $270) but me might spring a little more if its worth it
